and probably recollecting that "he who

mother first begin" so elegantly pleaded
his cause that Mrs. Mack, with visions Of
wealth and social position for her daughter

union. Mrs. Mack wore the trousers in that
family and her consent was all that was
necessary. A few days later the young

but one day friends of the newly married
couple were astounded to learn that Mrs.

home and returned TO her fathers less pre-
tentious dwelling. Gossips were rolling
! the toothsome morsel over their tongues

and it is reported that as result of this

gushing details. Mrs. Loud took the stand
in person and testified that she had been re-

three days in her bath room in a
state of semi-nudity for the purpose
of forcing her to submission. The pair
belle was granted a divorce with permits
sion to resume her maiden name. The
affair was the sole topic of the gossip
world for a season and was then forgotten.

from Bishop, but after considerable trouble
the matter was arranged. Bishop surrender

amount he claimed to be due him. The at
